As he gets closer, he sees two of the four wings the creature has are fractured and broken from the wave of thunder. Not hesitating any longer than he does to get into position, he charges the hovering bug and swings fully, sending two pieces of the creature out into the jungle and black smear on the edge of his blade.  BURN! roars Thormir, slightly sputtering, the stream was up to his chest and water was in the air with the dwarf flailing about, trying to get free. As he calls on his infernal power, the bug bites down a little harder. Then the dwarf completes his incantation in fiery retribution and the creature blackens and smokes. In response to the bug's attack, vines burst from the water, wrapping around the insect's body, and flinging it off the dwarf. The beetle steps closer to the dwarf, mandibles clicking with hunger. The creature clamps down on Thormir's shoulder going through his armor, but the pain is no match for the dread that the warlock feels when he thinks of being roasted by the creature's liquid fire. As the creature mandibles drip blood, a fury ignites in the warlock, and infernal fire burns the bug again, but this time the fire consumes it, and pieces of it's exoskeleton flows downstream into the ocean. Hesh looks around, trying to find the hidden archer. The only thing he seees is the sand blowing in the wind, and the only things he hears is the rushing of the stream past him. The hobgoblin swings his double flail in a upward motion at the bug attached to Thormir's bicep. Unfortunately, the other end strikes prematurely at the surface of the stream sending a spray of water into his face and sending his blow way wide. The mistake leaves the hobgoblin open to attack from the bug, but the bug hovers in the air, not attacking the confident leader. Stellan closes the distance, vines writhing in the mud, ready to strike at the beetle. He swings his battleaxe in a flurry of strikes. The first bounces off the beetle's carapace. The second connects, cracking the outer shell. Bubbling red goo seeps from the crack. Lorn half swims half walks through the stream, coming up on the other side. He unleashes another wave of thunder on the remaining bug. The beetle is caught in the blast and tumbles through the sand, coming to a stop again on it's feet. After Lorn's spell is complete, he sees a shape rise from the large ship nearby, he raises his staff in as a bolt flies from the goblin's crossbow. A pulse of force projects outward, and deflects the bolt, but not enough, as he feels pain in his shoulder. Turning around he sees a crossbow bolt sticking out and a brief form is seen on top of the nearby ship, before disappearing once again. Having slain one bug, Xandren turns his attention to the fire beetle. His feet churning sand and stream, the warforged charges the beetle, landing a severe slice with his fullblade. The beetle, if still alive, turn its attention to Xandren now. "Like I said," Xandren tells the group, "giant monstrous insects are something I know how to deal with." Initiative: Round 4Lorn: 24-ActedArcher: 22-ActedXandren: 20-ActedThormir: 19Beetle: 8Hesh: 7Stellan: 5  Lorn: 9/23, HS: 7/7(5) AP: 0 Xandren: 23/30, HS: 11/11(7) AP: 1 Thormir: 18/32 +1 temp, HS: 11/11(8) AP: 1 Hesh: 20/26, HS: 7/9(6) AP: 1Stellan: 30/30, HS: 10/10(7) AP: 1Archer: -23 Hidden?

Everybody saw the gobbo pop out and snipe before disappearing again. Thormir through Lorn can go ahead and act now. The beetle's action will probably be shockingly predictable considering it's situation. Next update will be tomorrow night[/sblock]</blockquote>
